Aoki said to those cousins, "What's the matter, to be so noisy?" Let outsiders see the joke that the aunt and grandmother have not been buried yet, and the cousins are not afraid of her old man's coldness? How to divide those things, I don't believe that my aunt and grandmother usually didn't say it, even if the old man left in a hurry and didn't explain, the cousins just divided it according to what my aunt and grandmother usually said, what are you arguing about? After arguing for so long, my cousins didn't find anyone instigating, so I wish you were getting more and more noisy? I don't believe that when my aunt and grandmother were there, others dared to interfere in the affairs of my cousin's family like this.

A group of honest men came to their senses, looked at each other in shame, and said in their hearts, if their mother is here, who would dare to fart? Now the Yu family doesn't even have an elder, and my mother is the highest elder of the Yu family.

Another person scolded: "Are you two little cubs pointing at Sang and scolding Huai? Who are the others? You are the others, when will the affairs of our old Yu family ......?"

Zhang Huai said loudly: "Of course outsiders can't interfere in the affairs of the Yu family, we just persuade them not to quarrel." Are you? Even if your surname is Yu, you are not a family with them, you are here to point fingers, is it possible that you also have a share of the things in this family? ”

Aoki stared at a short man in the crowd and said, "You are uneasy and kind, what do you want to do?" Are you so persuasive? It's clearly looking for trouble. ”

There are grandchildren of the Yu family, who are as old as Aoki, and said angrily: "I saw that the second uncle and the sixth uncle were uneasy and kind, instigating my second uncle and third uncle to quarrel with my father, bullying my grandmother is gone, so he stirs up the wind and rain, isn't it?" ”

Hearing this, Chrysanthemum was dizzy - several uncles!

Before the short man could speak, Huaizi said, "We don't quite understand what twists and turns are in the middle." But the cousins don't know how to think about it, what is this person like in the past? What did my aunt do to him? The cousins were only arguing, the aunt and grandmother were angry, and the oil lamps in the mourning hall were smashed. ”

Zheng Changhe and the others were taken aback when they heard this, and looked at each other.

Aoki said: "I see that my cousins go directly to the mourning hall, in front of my aunt and grandmother, they can divide what they want, others are not allowed to intervene, whoever intervenes is deliberately stirring up trouble in the Yu family and wants to cause discord among the cousins' brothers and sisters." ”

Now those people didn't dare to squeak, but someone said: "The oil lamp is down, how can you say that the third aunt is angry?" You're here to talk nonsense. ”

Huaizi believed in chrysanthemums very much, so he stared at him and said, "Isn't it, let's go and see if you know." ”

Aoki's cousins all came to their senses, and they were afraid, so they hurried to the mourning hall, knelt in front of the coffin, and kept babbling words of guilt.

Chrysanthemum followed, and saw that the mourning hall was quiet as usual, only an oil lamp was burning quietly, and the sleeping man had already woken up, a young man, presumably from his aunt's grandchildren.

When people saw that their brothers kowtowed countless times, and there was nothing abnormal, they sneered: "You also said that the third aunt appeared and used you as a baby, do you believe this?" ”

Before he finished speaking, a gloomy wind blew in, and everyone looked around nervously, and the man who spoke trembled, "The door...... The door is not ······ It's not closed! ”

Chrysanthemum had an idea, and said in her heart that she had to scare them today, so she knelt down and said loudly: "Auntie, I brought everyone according to your old man's orders, but the cousins are still angry, and the troublemakers are not reconciled, and they don't treat your old man as a few miles!" ”

After that, just wait for the wind to blow.

Who knows, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement at all, and everyone looked at her suspiciously.

The boss of the Yu family frowned and asked, "Whose baby are you, what are you talking nonsense?" When did my mother tell you something? ”

Chrysanthemum stared and couldn't speak; Huaizi hurriedly stepped forward and took her hand and knelt down with her.

Zheng Changhe and Aoki also stepped forward at the same time: "Big cousin, this is my daughter Chrysanthemum, I think it is...... I miss her aunt so much......

"Hahaha······ You're going to it! Just listen to your family's nonsense, and say that we are stirring up trouble, I think it is your Zheng family that stirs up trouble......"

As soon as he said this, another gust of wind blew, and suddenly the words were blocked in his throat, and he could no longer speak; That's not all, the other lone lamp on the bar above was also blown down by the wind, fell on the coffin lid with a "clang", and rolled down to the ground, and finally the fire was extinguished, and the mourning hall fell into darkness.

Now it's llL.

"Mother! My mother is angry! Mother, I was wrong......" This is the brothers of the Yu family kowtowing and crying.

There are also people whose teeth chatter and make a "gurgling" sound: "Third aunt······ Three······ Aunt··· … I was wrong, I shouldn't have ······ Don't stir up trouble, don't look for me, old man······ Three······ Neither. ”

Finally, the voice stopped abruptly, thinking that he had fainted.

Huaizi hurriedly hugged the chrysanthemum in her arms and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid! Auntie and grandma won't hurt you, let's help my cousin and them. ”

Where would Chrysanthemum be afraid, she almost laughed out loud.

It's really strange, the same thing, just now she was so frightened that she stiffened, but now she followed the bystanders, listening to those people crying and begging for mercy, repenting and making amends, I felt funny.

She wanted to take advantage of the situation to add a fire, so she cried in a thin voice: "Auntie—your old man is here, look at them, they are very bold..." While squeezing Huaizi's hand, he motioned for him not to worry.

Huaizi hurriedly said loudly: "Uncle Cousin, hurry up and tell your aunt and grandmother that you will separate the family amicably......"

In the dark, I don't know which cousin cried: "We are no longer separated, we are still living together...... Mother, you're angry......"

Others chimed in.

When the chrysanthemum is heard, what is the mile if you don't divide the family? Without the eldest aunt and grandmother in town, something will happen to this family sooner or later, so he hurriedly said: "No, my aunt told me that she is gone, and the cousins will definitely not be able to get together, so it is better to divide it as soon as possible." She is in a hurry, otherwise, she will definitely help you divide it before leaving. But she said it, and she did as she always said, whoever didn't fight, she would find whoever she wanted. ”

This lie is very smooth, because she heard it just now, and the aunt and grandmother were afraid that they had mentioned how to divide the family in the past, so they just said it.

Seeing that the chrysanthemum was getting farther and farther away, Huaizi hurriedly leaned into her ear and whispered, "Can you make it round?" Don't ask people to ask, say that they have leaked their mouths, and they will do bad things. ”

Chrysanthemum didn't squeak, just pinched his palm to reassure him.

So there was another commotion, and finally decided to split up in the mourning hall. Someone re-lit the oil lamp, and the outsiders withdrew, leaving their brothers and sisters to break at the coffin.

When Chrysanthemum came out, she saw that the short man was carried out, and he was still unconscious, and he looked really frightened.

She wiped a sweat in her heart, thinking that whoever told her that there were no ghosts in the world, she must be in a hurry with him, and tonight's experience completely subverted her view of ghosts and gods.

Just thinking about this, his left hand was suddenly grabbed by a small hand: "Young grandma! Were you scared just now? ”

It turned out to be grapes.

She hurriedly asked, "Grape, I didn't take care of you just now, where did you go?" Scared or not? She asked the grapes rhetorically.

Grape grinned, shrunk his neck, looked left and right, and then pulled the chrysanthemum and the locust to the place where there were few people, and whispered, "I'm in the mourning hall." When I saw that my aunt was not blowing the wind, and the young grandmother was anxious, and everyone looked at the young grandmother, I went under the coffin, and under the table, I poked down the oil lamp with the burning stick that burned paper money······"

"What?" Chrysanthemum's voice suddenly raised an octave, causing everyone around her to look at her, and she hurriedly covered her mouth.

What is going on? As soon as she felt that there were ghosts in the world, Grape immediately came to tell her that she had knocked down the oil lamp just now, so are there any ghosts in this world?

Does aunt and grandmother count as an apparition? If not, why does the wind blow so strangely?

Huaizi listened to the words of the grapes and chuckled.

Chrysanthemum thought about it and was still a little unconvinced, mainly because she felt that no one pushed the oil lamp before, but she was the only one in the mourning hall at that time.

So she asked suspiciously: "You were so frightened just now, why did you dare to drill under the coffin when you entered the mourning hall?" Knocked down the oil lamp, you are not afraid? ”

Grape said excitedly: "I don't know why, I was not afraid at all at that time, and I thought it was funny to see them screaming in fright." Later, I sneaked out while it was dark. ”

Chrysanthemum looked at her strangely, and concluded that it was the eldest aunt and grandmother who taught her children and grandchildren through her hand, otherwise, how could such a young girl not be afraid of the coffin? I was trembling with fear before.

At this time, Aoki came over and asked them to eat, and Chrysanthemum shook her head and said, "Brother, I won't go to the table." I'll go to the kitchen and get some food, Brother Huaizi, you and your brother will go to the table together. ”

Huaizi told Aoki that he was going to accompany Chrysanthemum to reassure him, and they went to the kitchen to get some hot dishes to eat, so Aoki went to eat by himself.

The locust seeds, the chrysanthemums, and the grapes went to the straw huts on the east side. It turned out that cooking rice and stir-frying vegetables were not all in the kitchen, but a grass shed was temporarily built with adobe, and now a few large cauldrons are built, except for some stir-fried vegetables, other cooking rice and stewed meat are cooked on these cauldrons, and people washing dishes and picking vegetables are also gathered here.

Although my aunt's and grandmother's house is quite wealthy, and there is no sumptuous banquet, the dishes are good, and there is not a lot of meat, but the rice is mixed with corn and cooked.

This rice chrysanthemum has been eaten for more than a year, and it is not unfamiliar, even after it is served on the table, it is not covered with anything, and it is really unpalatable when it is cold. She only swallowed a small bite at noon, and now her chest was pressed against her back when she was hungry.

There was only a black and thin daughter-in-law sitting in front of the stove in the grass shed, and they were very surprised to see the chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemum hurriedly explained her intentions, and the daughter-in-law pursed her lips and smiled, and without asking much, she took out a few bowls and a few pairs of chopsticks from the basket next to her, scooped some hot water in a large wooden barrel and rinsed them, and then put them on the long board supported by adobe.

She turned back to the chrysanthemums and smiled, and said, "Stir-fry some greens." The voice was hoarse, and he brought a few small stools for them to sit on.

Chrysanthemum thanked her and sat down with Huaizi Grape. I saw her take out a handful of washed yellow cabbage from the basket containing vegetables, chop it, heat a large pot, and stir-fry it in the pot. (To be continued)
